The Crown Of Thorns

The Crown Of Thorns

The Crown of thorns how significant
That they placed upon Christ's head
The cruel works of men's own workings
Could not displace the love He had
The proof of which He prayed to His father
Father forgive them for what they do
They have no inkling to the forgiveness
That a heart can have in knowing You

You placed my life upon an altar
To be raised up that men might see
Though the weight of sin was placed upon Him
He put it to death at Calvary
For in grand fashion three days later
When they came to the tomb at early sunrise
They were greeted by heavenly angels
Who were to share a wonderful surprise

He is not here for He has risen
Go tell the disciples what you have heard
You have not found a dying Saviour
But you shall find the living Lord
What a story now tongues were telling
Hallelujah Christ arose!
He has arisen as He promised...
And as for death!???...He has overthrown!!!

Hallelujah what a Saviour!

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
